Practicing Physicians of America Launches Website, Logo and Seal of Approval
FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) June 18, 2018 -- Practicing Physicians of America (PPA) has launched a new website, logo, and Seal of Approval, which were unveiled last week at http://www.practicingphysician.org. PPA endeavors to place the new Seal of Approval everywhere physicians lead: from exam rooms to board rooms, enhancing the organization’s advocacy for physicians across the country overburdened by regulations that limit their ability to serve their patients.
“It's time for physicians to stand-up, unite and take medicine back from the middlemen and special interests," co-founder Dr. Marion Mass stated.
Created by Dr. Mass and Dr. Wes Fisher in March 2017, PPA is mobilizing thousands of physicians across the nation in novel ways through its numerous projects.
"For example, we're fighting against Maintenance of Certification, which robs patients of their access to physicians and contributes to physician burnout," said Dr. Fisher. “To share costs associated with the acquisition of pre-litigation investigation data against medical boards, PPA launched a GoFundMe page, after we surveyed physicians and over 7000 strenuously indicated their disregard for any value in the MOC program."
"It’s exciting to see all of these pieces coming together,” added PPA Chair Dr. Judy Thompson. “Physician liberty and patient choice are key to a free and open medical system. PPA facilitates patient and physician advocacy groups to work together to restore integrity to the profession of medicine. Physicians take the time needed to develop a fund of knowledge and skillsets, and require the time needed to deliver personalized care to each patient.”
With the help of board members Dr. Brian Dixon, Dr. Craig M. Wax and Dr. Niran Al-Agba, PPA also launched Physicians Rise (#physiciansrise), a campaign to engage every physician, and promote aligned physician advocacy groups in America, earlier this year.
"We were inspired by major social movements that have shown that in making our issues known, we resolve to fix them, which ultimately allows us to better serve our patients,” continued Dr. Al-Agba.
"We and the patients we serve are everywhere," Dr. Wax concluded. "Our Board and PPA affiliates are helping create local physician-led healthcare town halls throughout America and meeting with national leaders in D.C. We've had enough and we will be heard."
